Polarity is comprised of a series of objects that functions first as a deconstructive conversation about binary oppositions (artificial versus real, structure versus chaos, repulsion versus seduction), and then becomes resolved on various levels of reconstruction. Each object begins as a performative exploration of materiality from inception to exhibition. Made from synthetic and natural materials that are subjected to unnatural and unpredictable processes, these pieces occupy the formal space of a gallery to reconsider the idea of a traditional art object; sculptures become paintings and paintings violate their pictorial space by assuming a three dimensional presence. Visual affinities to the elements in nature become catalysts to foster a dialogue of binary oppositions: ecology versus psychology, destruction versus creation, absence versus presence. This thesis includes photographs and a description of Polarity written by the artist.
